Biki.com: Exchanges and Projects Are Interdependent “There is No Other Way”
https://bitcoingarden.org/biki-com-exchanges-and-projects-are-interdependent...

At the CoinTime Summit 2019 held in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam on 25th-26th July, BiKi.com Southeast Asia CEO Ethan Ng spoke on the new role of exchanges in 2019 and the benefits of interdependency between projects and exchanges, “And we found out through our model, we literally help our projects grow… There is no other way.”

Ng noted that the ebb and flow of cryptocurrency trends has produced 4 generations of exchanges to date. First generation exchanges like Mt Gox served solely as mediums of exchange; second generation exchanges like Huobi and Binance managed to entrench their leading positions during the last bull run; third generation exchanges like Fcoin came up with unique features like trade mining, which caused rapid but uncontrollable growth, eventually leading to a bubble burst. Last but not least, the fourth generation exchanges like MXC and BiKi have emerged from a crypto winter by taking on new roles in this new era.

With the crypto winter sieving the wheat from the chaff, only high-quality projects have remained. For new projects and tokens, trends like IEOs have also taken over to guarantee that tokens get listed on exchanges in order to prevent the scam projects from abusing the ICO craze of late 2017 to early 2018....

CEO of BiKi.com SEA Ethan Ng Presents at Codex World’s Top 50 Innovators in London
https://bitcoingarden.org/ceo-of-biki-com-sea-ethan-ng-presents-at-codex-worlds-top-50-innovators-in-london/

CEO of BiKi.com Southeast Asia, Ethan Ng, has been invited to speak alongside industry specialists at the prestigious Codex World’s Top 50 Innovators in London. This year, speakers include top specialists from NASA, Oracle and IBM. Presently leading the progressive trading platform in its globalisation efforts, Ng will provide exclusive insights into the crypto space.

In the blockchain and cryptocurrency industries, the burning question has been: Is the crypto winter over for good? Ethan Ng will explore current economic, political and cultural trends to arrive at a cogent conclusion. Believing strongly that early adoption lies with developing countries, Ng sees countries such as Venezuela, Brazil and Zimbabwe, for instance, having breakthroughs in the crypto market as their local currencies lack value. Cryptocurrencies will be able to fill that gap and provide the assurance of economic value as well as security. Hence, citizens from these regions will turn to Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as a solution, sparking off mass adoptions that Ng foresees will spill over to the first world countries.

Historically, the annual Codex Talks typically select the top 50 most influential technology leaders and entrepreneurs to either delve deep into industry topics or to apply their collective imaginations to deliver technology that transforms lives. Each speaker is then expected to conclude their keynote with a bold prediction....

I have chosen to be in the center of all the blockchain action.”

Hui continued, “Moreover, BiKi Southeast Asia CEO Ethan’s leadership is also extremely focused. He has a clear direction of what BiKi wants to achieve and I strongly believe this form of leadership can lead the exchange to go places, literally now, as we are going to so many places around the world and gaining a foothold on projects and traders everywhere.”

Hui’s move from DigiFinex, a highly-ranked trading platform, to Biki.com sends a strong signal in industry circles. Formerly the general manager of DigiFinex, Hui’s responsibilities included business development, public relations and marketing.
